April 18, 1974 Cubs 11-3 Against M-Hurst and Duke • Behrend had its share of first game jitters as the Cubs dropped two decisions to Mercyhurst last Saturday, by the scores of 8-6'and 4-0. And to add insult to injury, Mercyhurst delivered a no-hitter in the latter contest. However, the Cubs showed their strength and determination by coming back within two runs in the first game after being down by seven in the first two innings. Capitalizing on Laker errors, the Behrend nine picked up three runs in the second inning and t•vo more in the third. Behrend second baseman Rick 'Kestle had a good day at the plate as he U two singles and two RBl's. Tim Slaven came in to relieve starter John Marucci at the end of one and two-thirds innings and finished the game in good form allowing only one run. The thing that hurt Behrend most was the errors on the Cubs' part. In the first game they allowed four unearned runs and three in the second game. In the second game of the twin bill Mercyhurst managed to shut Behrend out. Behrend pitcher Ray Fritts looked good and went the distance. He allowed only six hits in the losing cause.

Golf Team at 1-1 After Grove City by Censor Jones Sports Writer Not having any eliminations and only having 12 candidates try out for the team, makes the Behrend golf team's second place finish in the triangular meet at the Grove City Country Club last Thursday look pretty good. In the first round, Behrend drew Grove City and lost 11 1 / 2 to 12%. But in the final round, the Cubs defeated Washington and Jefferson College 16 1 / 2 to 7 1 / 2 .

Lack of said important factor can lead to a myriad of perturbing idiosyn cracies that in coach's english spells 1-n-s-s. Tennis coach Herb Lauffer cited lack of confidence as thd villain behind the Cubs 0-2 record. Lauffer would not ven ture a guess as to the outcome of Behrend's two losses but he did .say, that, Cleveland State and Grove City should riot have been capable of shutting out the Cubs. "We just haven't played the confident and relaxed tennis that we are capable of". Lauffer is attempting to center the tp ms thoughts on con fidence. "When the guys start to win, then they will gain their confidence". This is easier said than done as Behrend has two difficult matches coming up. Saturday at home, the Cubs will meet Mercyhurst which is "the team to beat in district 18". Lauffer went on to say that if the NAIA ranked their teams, Mercyhurst would be in the stop 20. At home again on Monday, the Cubs will host defending champs Edinboro. These are two tough situations in which to gain con fidence. "The team has respect for the talent they are playing but of course they'll be uptight a little". One universal antidote for any team's ills is fan support. Lauffer feels that a large turn out at the 1 p.m. game on Saturday and the 2 p.m. game on Monday could make a difference. Any one interested in being a lifeguard this spring, should see Dr. Sweeting before the pool opens May 1. stated, "As a team, Behrend has a two-fold advantage, the course, namely Lakeview and the type of play". There are two main types of competition in golf. In medal play, the winner is the one who takes the least number of strokes overall. In match play, the result depends on the number of holes won from an opponent. A system of handicapping is employed to match unequal opponents. This allowance of strokes makes the average golfer closer to the better player. Pogo Throe
